• How To Walk In Alignment With Your Purpose | Sarah Wood González on Journalism, Entrepreneurship, and Courage

  Meet Sarah - How many people you know have gone from the trading floor at Goldman Sachs to being published in Vogue in less than five years? Now you know at least one - Sarah Wood González is a freelance journalist, agency owner, joy soldier, and creative spirit I met shortly after moving to Scotland. She knows all about how to take a risk on yourself - her entire career has been built off of betting on her own ability to accomplish whatever she sets her mind to. Her story has inspired me since I met her, and I hope it inspires you as well.FIND SARAH:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahwoodgonzalez/?hl=enSubstack: https://limminal.substack.com/Her writing: https://www.sarahwoodgonzalez.com/This episode is sponsored by LMNT.

• Freewrite: What Are We Going To Do About The Kids? Brain Rot, AI, and Empathy

  Elon Musk recently went on the Joe Rogan Experience and said, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." And I thought, f*ck that. In a world increasingly plagued by irresponsible AI usage, unbridled exposure to dangers online, and mind-numbing brain rot content, I think empathy will actually be our savior - empathy is what connects us to the shared human experience, empathy is what drives us to consider other people, and empathy is what keeps our souls intact. Or something. This is a freewrite, after all.81

• Embracing the Single Girl Mindset (even if you're taken)

  The single girl mindset is all about prioritizing yourself, maintaining your independence, and being unafraid and unashamed to pursue your interests. I'm a firm believer that valuing your independence helps you show up as your best self in that relationship, and that the most important relationship you can ever have is with yourself.

• I’m Changing My Life in 4 Months | Road to 27

  I will turn 27 in four months, and I don’t want to turn one more year older without doing some of the things I’ve always assumed I’ll just get around to eventually. So I’m focusing hard and committing to making some serious lifestyle changes between now and 27, and I’m bringing you along for every step of the way. EDIT: there appears to be a a gap of about 10 seconds of silence towards the end of the episode - not sure how that got there, but it doesn't appear to have affected the rest of the ep <3 79

• Spring Reset: The Seasonal Productivity Wake-Up Call

  The spring equinox marks the pivot from the dark to the light half of the year. March means Daylight Saving’s Time, cherry blossoms, more plans with friends, new inspiration at work, and an increase in energy as our bodies naturally align with the rhythm of the seasons. If nature waits until the spring equinox to start waking up and taking action, I think we should too. That’s why I planned my 2025 goals to kick in only after a cozy, slow start to the year. It simply feels more natural to increase productivity only after the natural world does. This episode is sponsored by LMNT. DrinkLMNT.com/MarySkinner
